I had a hip replacement at the end of March and all went really well the pain has completely gone However I'm now experiencing pain in my lower back and sides I'm wondering if it's because it was nearly a year of not walking and Im a using muscles again that haven't been exercised for so long Has anyone else experienced this ?

Have you been doing the exercises given by the physio? It can take up to 6 months to get back to normal

Yes - it's surprising how much muscle you can lose even when you're attempting to remain active and then you start to walk around any discover just how much muscle quantity or quality you've lost.

Strains and sprains can take 6 months for recovery so, yes, backs that have had some disuse can be similar in length of recovery. Progress can be slow when following physiotherapy exercises but it will happen.

It's not uncommon, but if still bothering you have a chat with doctor.

Early days as yet regarding rehabilitation,it sounds like your body is realigning it's self after the operation.

Take care
